🧵 AI-generated soul music by "Eddie Dalton" is taking over iTunes, YouTube, and Spotify--raising the question of where humans think beauty and art lives.

Software-made music has gotten so good now that 97 percent of people cannot differentiate it from human-made music.

@mattsheffield The corollary is that human-made music has gotten so bad now that 97 percent of people cannot differentiate it from software-made music.

I don't think this is a huge surprise for commercially-driven music, where the priority has always been “make money not art”.

Same for a lot of Hollywood blockbusters, and just commercial products in general: if the process of getting money produces any art along the way, so be it, but it's rarely the investors' goal.
